  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary, or half that of dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 cup chopped shallots (about 2 large shallots)

  2. Lay out chicken pieces and divide rosemary, salt and pepper between front and back of chicken pieces.
  3. Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large non stick pan over medium high heat and cook chicken in two batches using a second tablespoon of oil for the second half of the chicken, about 2-3 minutes on each side per batch. Set chicken aside in a bowl or plate.
